Stick around and we\u2019ll show you exactly how to DIY a refreshing tea latte over ice. Seriously, your life is about to change.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#d8bfd8\"><strong>THE BEST TEAS FOR ICED TEA LATTES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go for teas that are fruity, decadent, sweet or spicy\u2013the choice really is up to you. Just steer clear of hibiscus because it tends to curdle milk. Want some recommendations? We have a few standards we like to use in our iced tea lattes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidstea.com\/ca_en\/tea\/organic-saigon-chai\/10219DT01VAR004058.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Organic Saigon Chai (opens in a new tab)\"><u>Organic Saigon Chai<\/u><\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This spicy blend is on another\nlevel of delicious. Try it over ice with sweetened condensed milk for a\nVietnamese-style iced tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidstea.com\/ca_en\/tea\/collections\/matcha-shop\/peach-matcha\/10532DT01VAR0029691.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Peach Matcha (opens in a new tab)\"><u>Peach Matcha<\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A blend of finely ground matcha powder, pure cane sugar and fruity notes of peach, our Peach Matcha makes an incredible green tea latte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidstea.com\/ca_en\/tea\/organic-blueberry-jam-tea\/10820DT01VAR0082483.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Organic Blueberry Jam<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tea blends blueberries with black tea, elderberries and cornflowers. This fruity pick-me-up really comes alive over ice and milk!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidstea.com\/ca_en\/tea\/chocolate-macaroon-tea\/10431DT01VAR0021037.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chocolate Macaroon<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its toasted coconut, cacao nibs, pecans and rock sugar, this rich, nutty blend is just as good as the real thing. Enjoy it as a latte for a sweet and satisfying treat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidstea.com\/ca_en\/tea\/vanilla-cappuccino-tea\/10760DT01VAR0072916.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vanilla Cappuccino<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want the sweet and creamy flavour of a French vanilla iced capp without the sugar crash?

Sometimes tea can take on a different flavour, depending on the type of milk you choose. Have fun and experiment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#d8bfd8\"><strong>CHOOSING A SWEETENER FOR YOUR TEA LATTE <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t have to add a sweetener but, if you\u2019re into it, you can try honey, cane sugar, agave or even good ol\u2019 maple syrup. Everyone\u2019s sweet tooth is slightly different\u2013don\u2019t be afraid to play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.davidstea.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Iced-Latte_Blog-TWITTER-1024x535.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.davidstea.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Iced-Latte_Blog-TWITTER-1024x535.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.davidstea.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Iced-Latte_Blog-TWITTER-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.davidstea.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Iced-Latte_Blog-TWITTER-768x402.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#d8bfd8\"><strong>SIMPLE ICED TEA LATTE RECIPE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"recipe-block-svg\">\n    <div class=\"recipe-ct\">\n        <div class=\"gmc-recipe\" id=\"gmc-print-10350\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Recipe\" style=\"\">\n        <meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"https:\/\/blog.davidstea.com\" \/>\n    <h2 class=\"gmc-recipe-title \" itemprop=\"name\">Simple Iced Tea Latte Recipe<\/h2><div class=\"gmc-print-area\">\n        \n            \n                              \n                              \n                                          \n<a class=\"gmc-print-options gmc-print-hidden\" href=\"#\" id=\"gmc-print-text-10350\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.davidstea.com\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/getmecooking-recipe-templatex\/images\/print.png\" \/>Print recipe<\/a>          <\/div><div class=\"gmc-clear-both\">\n  <\/div><div class=\"gmc-recipe-main-photo\">\n<a class=\"\" href=\"\" rel=\"\">\n          <\/a>  <\/div>        <table class=\"gmc-recipe-summary-narrow no-main-photo\">\n                                                                                                                          <\/table>                    \n        <div class=\"gmc-recipe-steps\">\n<h2 class=\"gmc-recipe-subtitle\">\n        Directions\n      <\/h2>            \n        <table class=\"gmc-step-list\">\n                    \n                                                            <tr>\n<td class=\"gmc-step-list-title\" colspan=\"2\">\n                Step 1\n              <\/td>            <\/tr><tr class=\"gmc-step-list-item\">\n                                                        \n                                <td class=\"gmc-step-desc\" itemprop=\"recipeInstructions\">Add 4 Perfect Spoons* of loose leaf tea and 10 oz of water to a Steeper.
